Google Fined Over Brazillian Anon GriefSearch Engine Land | Submitted by: cyran0
"In Brazil, a fine of just over $9,000 has been imposed on Google by a civil court... The company was held to have defamed a priest by allowing an anonymous Internet user's post on Orkut, which called the priest a "pedophile"...

The emerging question is: what sort of burden is going to be placed on Google and other online publishers outside the US to police content in quasi real time vs. responding when someone identifies a violation and requests content removal?"

When amputated along any plane, Planaria are capable of regenerating all missing tissue and rescaling all structures to the new size of the animal... "The discovery of "smed-prep" unlocks the mechanisms by which the hard-to-kill Planarians grow new muscle, gut and brain cells from stem-cells... Even more importantly, it seems that the information contained in smed-prep also makes the new cells appear in the right place and organise themselves into working structures -- as opposed to nonfunctional blobs of protoplasm."
